Tell your story! This workshop, designed to teach you how to take personal experiences from your life and create material that an audience will connect with, includes verbal and written exercises, examples of performances from well-known storytellers, and techniques to prepare for performance. You will learn the basic elements of telling a narrative story, how to be real and truthful on stage, and how your unique perspectives can reveal the real meaning behind your experiences.
This is a great chance for you to dip your toe into the Storytelling waters, or if you've already taken Storytelling Standup with Kelsey, here is another perspective with a dedicated focus on your story!
Prerequisite: None! All are welcome.
